My current specs are:

GTX 570
i5 2320 @ 3.0
8gb of DDR3 1333 ram
450w PSU
2 TB HDD
Windows 7

I am currently playing battlefield 4 on high. My GPU usage is about 40% and my cpu usage is about 90-100%.

Now, if you read my current specs you will see that my PSU is only 450 and a 570 actually requires 550.

I've just bought a high quality 750w PSU and a Zotac GeForce GTX 680 AMP Edition 2GB Dual Silencer GPU.

With these upgrades am i going to be bottlenecked by my i5 2320?

I asked a few guys on the bf4 forum but as you could expect they don't know much and i got mixed replies.

Really appreciate any advice!

Thanks

no bottleneck, i5 sandy bridge even at 3.0 GHz is still a great CPU
you should know that i5 sandy to haswell has no great improvement
so basically your cpu is still comparable to current top i5 CPU

gpu usage that is too low is usually because of GPU throttling down
lack of power

Lack of power due to PSU? i hope you're right because that has been what I have been blaming it on since i got the 570 with my lack of a decent psu.

Thank you for easing my thoughts =)
